I used a pre-made IKEA cushion cover (honestly, it was so much cheaper than making it myself).Then, I used this image for the applique: I used this site to print it in a bigger scale, then I cut around the silhouette of the lion head, pinned it on some yellow felt and cut it.

Sewing the felt applique on the cushion cover was trickier than I thought and the end result is not perfect, but I'm happy with it. I'm actually thinking of making one for me inspired by House Stark...

I didn't think to take photos of the process because it was very straightforward, but if you want to know more, don't hesitate to ask.

I still haven't given my friend his present, so I hope he doesn't end on my blog by accident or I'll spoil his surprise!

Ah! I love it! I am addicted, too. I've been through all the tv episodes and I am just now beginning the book series. Our free HBO trial runs out next month and the new season starts in the spring. We are debating whether we need to pay for HBO just to watch Game of Thrones!

"I quickly went through all the books" Quickly?! I'm still chugging through book five and I began the series months ago. I think I could finish reading every famous Russian novel from the last two centuries in less time than it take to read ASOIAF. Lol ;) but for real though I'm a big fan of the books and show and I think your pillow is just plain awesome! I love Tyrion but I'm Team Targaryen all the way!

Hi there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?I'm getting tired of Wordpress because I've had issues with hackers and I'm looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.Check out my website : datamatics work from home
